conditional certified' check,' which accom
panied its bid. The specifications on the
back of the check were that he contract
must be awarded within ten days from
date of receiving proposals. Over this
techrilcality there arose an argument. In
which City Attorney KavanaugU held
that this was a most unreasonable con
dition, and strongly advised that all fu
ture calls for bids be made to read that
unconditonal certified checks be ten
dered. Ex-City Attorney. McNary read a
seotion from the Oregon code, which
made it clear that . to be ner-iable a
certified check must be unconditional in
Its terms of payment. In -view ol all the
facts, and because of a possibility of lit
igation, the Minneapolis' company's bid
was rejected, upon motion of L. T. Peery.
Only two of the board voted against re
jection. Speaking for the Minneapolis Company,
Its lawyers, F. V. Holman and R. D.
Montague, argued that the check was
good, and they offered to deposit its face
value in gold coin, -- necessary, to guar
antee it, or to furnish an additional un
conditional certified check, but the board
members voted -to reject the bid because
of what they declared to be an irregular
ity. The board unanimously voted to reject
tho bid of Backus. Gleblsch & Joplin for
the proposed reinforced concrete bridge
across Sulllvan'a Gulch. The City Audi
tor was authorized to readvertise. City
Engineer Taylor declared it to be his
belief that a better bid will be received.
The alleged indefinite specifications of
the lowest bidder was the cause of -the
rejection.
